Chapter 6: The Undercurrents Under the Empire
In the dark of night, the manor of the Duke's Mansion was empty and quiet, accompanied by the moonlight, two humanoid figures walked cautiously under the trees, and these two people were naturally Fang Yun and Vortex Rice who had quietly sneaked into the mansion.

"Master, why the hell did we sneak in??" asked the young Vortex Mi, puzzled,
"Hmph, you'll see something good in a minute. Fang Yun saw a small building not far away and smiled ghostly,
This detached building is located in a relatively remote part of the manor, hundreds of meters away from the house where the dukes lived.
And in addition to this building, there is bare land and a ring of woods on the periphery, which makes the independent building mysterious and bleak, and even under the quiet night, it brings a trace of fear to Vortex Rice.
As for Fang Yun, he was getting more and more excited now, as if he had found something familiar, and a smile appeared on his face again and again, but this smile was not the kind of sweetness that could make people warm, but just a simple smile for the sake of laughing.
By the hazy moonlight, the two walked to the door of the small building, only to see a large and cold iron door, and a copper lock on the doorknob, as if to tell the comer, "High energy ahead, please stop".
However, this naturally couldn't stop Fang Yun who came here for this purpose, although the cold and huge iron door was locked, but after all, there was no protection such as the prohibition of the Immortal Family's magic array, in the end, it was just a copper lock in the world, how could it stop Fang Yun who had the foundation building cultivation?
Cast the spell with his hand, and the copper lock was broken, and then push the door open,
"Squeak"
With a heavy friction sound, the heavy iron door of the two people was slowly pushed open, gradually revealing the true face hidden under hypocrisy, the dark truth of the Imperial Duke's Palace.
"Gross. Vomit..."
After the cold iron door was pushed open, the quiet moonlight also swept into the small building, and the whirlpool rice, who saw the things in front of him clearly, couldn't bear the nausea, and his stomach turned upside down, and he vomited out half a bowl of fried rice that he only ate at noon.
Fang Yun also put away the smile on his face at this time, the conjecture in his heart was confirmed, and he couldn't help but spit out a new question: "It seems that history is always strikingly similar, is all this the choice of the Gate of the Destiny Stone?"
By the clear light of the stars and the moon, in the deep and remote small building, there were densely covered with iron cages, after Fang Yun's rough sweep, there were more than a dozen, and each cage was tied with a rope with a trunk.
As for why it is a dry body, of course, it is the appearance of the corpse after decay and weathering, in the dark small building, in a dozen or so cages, the dead corpses are male and female, but the age is no longer distinguishable, and there are white and thin maggots slowly crawling on some of the corpses that decay late.
The hollow and decaying corpses were vaguely covered with scars, most of which should have been caused by weapons such as whips, and the scars all over the body were hideous and terrifying, and it could be seen that they had been severely abused before their deaths, and some of them may have been tortured to death.
The most unbearable thing is the foul smell that comes to the nose, and a large part of the reason for the vomiting of the vortex rice also comes from this, although there are many corpses, they are all rotten and do not look like they, and the sense of fear that gives people is not the strongest kind.
It's just that under the quiet environment and the smell of decay, the young whirlpool rice hit with a feeling of nausea on the spot.
"Xiaomi, what you see is the reality behind the aristocratic class of the Empire. Do you still think that Miss Duchess who came to the aid of the tavern would be some kind of good person?"
Vortex Mi stood speechless, the scene of authenticity in front of him had taught him a deep lesson, no wonder under the long war, the imperial capital of the empire could still maintain such a prosperous scene, it turned out that everything was superficial.
Just like this duke's house, there is an unknown madness hidden under the surface of human skin. Under the prosperity of the imperial capital, there is also a turbulent darkness, can such a decaying and depraved empire really be saved?

"By the way, master, let's go and save that foodie lady, if you don't hurry up, you may be killed. Thinking of another person who had been abducted because he didn't know it, Vortex Rice hurriedly expressed his worries.
"Anla, Anla, you don't say that I will also save it, but although that foodie girl has a bigger appetite, she still looks quite cute. Fang Yun said a lighter topic, and after mediating the thick and deep atmosphere, he took the lead and walked towards the place where the duke lived.
Perhaps also because of the Imperial War, there were not many guards patrolling the Duke's Palace, and they were not very professional. Fang Yun and the others once again avoided the sight of the patrol and successfully sneaked into the house.
Although it was smooth sailing to sneak in, the problem still came, there are so many rooms, God knows which one that foodie girl lives in?
"Damn, the bourgeoisie is really corrupt!" Fang Yun, who was angry and angry, broke his mouthful, expressing the common rebuke of his proletarian compatriots all over the world.
Since Fang Yun was only building a foundation and cultivating at the moment, and he didn't have the ability to use his divine sense, otherwise, if he put his immortal sword cultivation into the surviving Yuan Infant stage strength, as long as his divine sense was easily swept away, he would be able to know...
Hey, no, it doesn't seem to be so troublesome, Du Temeow Yuanying can sweep the entire country of the sun, and directly kill all this duke's mansion, won't people find out.
Unfortunately, the above "above patterns are for reference only, please refer to the actual product"
Since they didn't have the power of divine sense, of course, they could only search one by one, so Fang Yun and Vortex Mi decided to separate into two ends, one to find the first layer.
I don't know if it was after looking at the first few empty rooms, Fang Yun suddenly heard a sound of footsteps "clicking" coming, and he quickly recognized that this footstep would never belong to the vortex meter.
After hiding in a hidden place, he quietly observed the comer, "Da Da", the footsteps got closer and closer, only to see that after a bend, it was the duke's daughter "Alia" who came into Fang Yun's sight.
With long golden hair curled in a golden shawl, wearing lazy and cute pajamas, and eyelashes fluttering on her delicate little face, if Fang Yun hadn't known the secret of the Duke's Mansion when he was hungry, just Alia's harmless expression of humans and animals might really be blindfolded.
Of course, although Arya looked like a lovely aristocratic girl at this time, the hemp rope in her hand deeply destroyed this harmony.
Step by step, Arya finally stopped at the door of a room, and a horrible smile suddenly appeared on her pretty little face, and it was fleeting.
